Why we ask what a search is for

What the search purpose dropdown records, and why it's required before you pull a property report.

A required field, not friction

Before you pull a report, you choose why you’re pulling it:

  • Listing appraisal

  • Buyer due diligence

  • Seller mandate

  • Valuation

  • Other

This is a compliance record required by the deeds data supplier agreement. It is not used for marketing and it is not shared beyond that record.

It’s remembered

Your last choice is remembered and pre-filled the next time you search, so you are not asked again on every search. You can change it before any search where the reason is different.

What happens if you don’t choose one

A report cannot be pulled until a purpose is selected. There is no default value and no way to skip the field.
